Last week, SCC's Glass Education Center had some special visitors! Senator Cory Booker and his team visited the GEC to learn more about the state-of-the-art Center and SCC’s renowned glass programs.

During his visit, Senator Booker toured the studio and learned more about Salem’s Scientific Glass Technology and Glass Art degree programs, students’ educational and career pathways, as well as the Center’s extracurricular events and workshops.

Senator Booker, along with his Senior Constituent Advocate Ashley Bauer, also took part in a hands-on glassblowing activity; and, if you’re wondering, they both did an amazing job!

A big thank you to Senator Booker and his entire team for spending time with at the Center, engaging with students and faculty, and learning more about the exciting work happening at SCC’s Glass Education Center.

Thank you also to Salem County Deputy Director Cordy Taylor; County Commissioners Ed Ramsay and Paul Collier; and Salem County Surrogate and former County Commissioner Dr. Mickey Ostrum for joining us, as well as for the County’s ongoing support of our students’ education at Salem Community College.
